Valek Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Due to hurricane Irma I lost power for two days. All my shrimp survived. I used a battery operated fan to keep temp down. Water got pretty cloudy but not a single death. Next time I'll be prepared with a battery operated pump. What do you guys do when power is lost?

DETAquarium Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Power was only out for about 15 hours here. I used two APC 1500 Back UPS and this: http://www.aquacave.com/non-stop-air-pump-with-battery-backup.html I was thoroughly impressed by the Mr. Aqua Air Pump. Definitely worth the money in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valek Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Looks really nice. What did you use with it. Air stone or sponge filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I currently use Canister Filters with a Quanvee Sponge Filter for intake. I took Qanvee Sponge Filter off Canister Filter during power outage, and ran just that on the side of the tank on intermittent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
